(Jewish Group) Trump Keeps White Supremacist Donations To 2020 Campaign

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESEPCT!!)

Almost exactly a year ago, white supremacists, Jew haters and racists of various stripes gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia at what they called the “Unite the Right” rally. One person was killed; many were injured and armed marchers menaced the town’s only synagogue during Shabbat services.

Trump told reporters, “I think there is blame on both sides,” after the white nationalist-planned Aug. 12, 2017 protest turned violent.

Now campaign filings reviewed by the Forward show that a participant in that event has donated to President Trump’s reelection campaign, as have two neo-Nazis. The filings show that the campaign is aware of the contributions, as they have redirected them — but not returned them. Experts say fundraising committees have a responsibility to vet donors.


“Clearly neo-Nazis and white supremacists are marching in the president’s name and are emboldened by rhetoric they’ve seen out of the administration,” said Stephen Spaulding, an attorney with the good government, nonpartisan group Common Cause.

James Allsup, described by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white supremacist, marched at Charlottesville and gave Trump a donation worth $48.33. He made the donation on Nov. 24, 2016; the campaign rerouted it to the primary fund on Jan. 20, 2017. Allsup was recently elected to a Republican Party position in Washington State.
